How Are You?

(álbum: Here Lies Love - 2010)

How are you? — I'm learning English
You're looking good — it's so hot today

We should keep in touch — oh, you'd better be going
It's a long long way — to your uncle's place

I got a job — it's just okay
And how's your dad? — it's hard to say
I miss you all — it's been so long
And who can say where love has gone?

And your life — is just beginning
And my life — is almost through
I've given up — never finished school
There was too much — too much work to do

How are you? Shall we get a soda?
You're looking good — it's so hot today
We should keep in touch — oh you'd better be going
It's a long long way — to your uncle's place

I was right there — right with your mother
And her last words — 'fore she passed away
Did they tell you — about the promise?
Should I ask you? Tell me what'd they say?

And there's no way that you could help me
And you're barely better off than I
You're a beauty — sing like an angel
We're together for both our lives

How are you? — well I'm okay
You're looking good — it's hot today
I miss you all — it's been so long
And who can tell, where love has gone?

Now I've really liked, this conversation
It was long ago — you were just a child
It's getting late — I must be going
Life is hard sometimes — but I'll be alright

How are you?
Oh, I'm okay
This is a nice place
It's so hot today
